Hello Moni and List,

Hi List, The Adamana or "Venus Stone" was found in the Adamana landfill.
Near the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert boundary. (about 15 miles NE of
Holbrook on I-40). Evidently someone just didn't want it anymore or didn't
know what they had. It was found by a rancher target practicing with his
0.22 rifle. With the selling of the piece to Bob, I heard he purchased a
new mobile home to live in. I have one of the casts, and it looks very real.
It looks so real, that I think I'll put it up on eBay with a $15,000 reserve.
(just kidding :o) Regards, Dave


I got one of these casts too many years ago and they do look real!

Best wishes,

Bernd
